Defined in:

Overview

A credential provider that executes a given process and attempts to read its stdout to receive a JSON payload containing the credentials.

credentials = Aws::ProcessCredentials.new(['/usr/bin/credential_proc'])
ec2 = Aws::EC2::Client.new(credentials: credentials)

Arguments should be provided as strings in the array, for example:

process = ['/usr/bin/credential_proc', 'arg1', 'arg2']
credentials = Aws::ProcessCredentials.new(process)
ec2 = Aws::EC2::Client.new(credentials: credentials)

Automatically handles refreshing credentials if an Expiration time is provided in the credentials payload.
